Bermuda celebrates Junkanoo which is undeniably one of the world's most culture-rich ancestral carnivals. The spirit of Junkanoo was brought to the Americans by the African slave forefathers who, while being forced to leave their beloved motherland, steadfastly refused to leave behind their ancestral culture deeply embedded in their genes. Junkanoo is celebrated on May 24th, which is also Bermuda's day. It features people dancing, jumping, and singing, along with music and drinks.
